６名が集まり江の島を散策スケッチ会しました。江の島は初めて来たという人もいて食べ歩きしたり、帰りは船に乗ったり、コンパクトな広さのなかで1日楽しめました。

I went to one of the well known Cherry blossoms viewing points in Kanagawa prefecture Yamato city called “Senbonzakura”it literary means thousand cherry blossoms trees ( although there aren't that many trees, we often use the word “thousand” whenever we find a large number of them.) I often wonder what is the definition of sketches, and what differenciate it from painting. But as far as I follow USk's manifest that says : “Draw on location, capture what we see from direct observation, be truthful to the scenes we witness, share our drawings online”, I think these can be called sketches. When I arrived this location, it was sunny and the light was ideal, I saw many people enjoy walking, taking photos, having lunch on the ground. Then when I started making second sketch, the sky was already getting cloudy and eventually it started raining.

３月にParisからCaroleさんが、４月にHong Kong からSandyさんと、SingaporeからHuiさんと彼女のお母さんが東京を訪れていたので、スケッチ仲間と２回に渡り新宿御苑を訪れました。 あいにく桜見にはまだ早かった３月後半。 桜がようやく咲く始めたけれど、あいにくの雨となった４月の初日。 Thanks for your participation! See you sometime again.
